Patients at Medway Maritime Hospital are benefitting from 30 new wheelchairs, funded through nearly £24,000 raised by The Medway Hospital Charity.
The additional chairs were provided following requests from the Trust’s Patient Experience Team, who have acted on feedback gathered from patients and their families.
Ensuring that patients can move safely, comfortably and without delay around the hospital – for appointments, scans and other essential care – is a key part of delivering a positive experience. The additional wheelchairs will make it easier for patients to get to where they need to be, supporting efforts to provide the best standard of care across the hospital.
Donna Law, Head of The Medway Hospital Charity, said:
“We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who supports us, particularly those who play the Make a Smile lottery.
‘’Thanks to their generosity, we’ve been able to fund these important new pieces of equipment for the hospital. The feedback has been wonderful, and we are delighted they are already making a real difference.”
